    I really loved the beautiful landscaping and how clean everything was! The cozy standalone cottage made for a relaxing stay. Only downside was outdated bathrooms, but overall, I’d definitely return.

    clean cottage
    convenient location
    art classes
    poor wifi reception

    Had an amazing getaway with my friends! We explored the beautiful Monterey beaches, attended a show at the Pacific Repertory Theatre, and enjoyed art classes at Carmel Visual Arts. The location was super convenient for all activities. The cottage was cozy and clean, making our stay comfy and memorable!

    One downside was that the WiFi reception was poor, which made staying connected tricky. But we managed to enjoy our time despite that.

    cozy cabin
    peaceful environment

    Couple's getaway paradise

    The cabin we stayed in was incredibly charming, surrounded by nature and flowers. I was blown away by how comfy the bed was, better than my own at home and the peaceful quiet of the place was a luxury in itself.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain but still worth the experience.

    river view
    comfortable bed
    bathroom privacy issue

    pleasant stay with room for improvement

    The room provided a great river view that added a calming ambiance. I loved the cleanliness and comfort of the king-sized bed, which made for restful nights. Being just a quick drive away from attractions like Point Lobos State Park was a huge plus. Plus, the garden area offered a lovely backdrop, perfect for quiet moments.

    However, the lack of privacy on the bathroom window was a concern.

    welsh pastries
    cozy escape
    great local eats
    missed discount

    Oh, the pastries! The local spots served up such delicious Welsh pastries that it turned breakfast into an adventure. Plus, the cottage was a gem—super clean and felt like a cozy escape, perfect for enjoying morning coffee in the tranquil patio. And the proximity to local eats like From Scratch made every meal a delight.

    I almost missed out on a potential discount for my painting workshop stay since I didn’t know about it beforehand. It could've been a fab little bonus on top of an already thrilling experience!
